What does this say about where things stand between the Cowboys and Ezekiel Elliott?

In corresponding moves Monday morning, Dallas added wide receiver Ventell Bryant to the 10-man practice squad while running back Jordan Chunn, who was initially among those 10 players, was promoted to the 53-man roster.

The two sides returned to the negotiating table Saturday in the hopes of hammering out an agreement. That remains the goal. But as of Sunday, Elliott wasn't expected to be at The Star for Monday morning's practice.

Original story, 2:42 p.m. Sept. 1: The Cowboys ventured outside their building but inside their division Sunday to add a quarterback.

Clayton Thorson was signed to the team's 10-man practice squad, sources said. The Cowboys were intrigued with the former Northwestern standout in the pre-draft process before the rival Philadelphia Eagles selected him in the fifth round.

On Saturday, the Eagles cut Thorson.

That opened the door for Dallas to acquire him.

Thorson was chosen for this developmental role in favor of Mike White and Taryn Christion. The two reserve quarterbacks, on the 90-man roster the entire offseason, combined to handle all the club's offensive snaps in Thursday's preseason finale versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Both were waived Saturday.

Dallas will hold its first regular-season practice on Monday.

Dak Prescott, Cooper Rush and Thorson are expected to be on the field for it.

Thorson is not coming off a sharp preseason. He completed 30 of 62 passes for 266 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. His August was punctuated when he handled every snap of the Eagles' final exhibition last Thursday, completing 12 of 26 passes for 84 yards and one interception against the New York Jets.
